Background

About Alex Ure

I am an experienced applied mineralogist with a multi-disciplinary educational and employment background. I have gained experienced in operations-based mine geology and exploration drilling programs, the use of advanced analytical instruments in the mineralogical characterisation of mineral grains, ores and geomaterials, supported the development and assessment of innovative ore characterization and mineral processing technologies, and participated in mineral processing optimisation studies. Roles within the Australian and Canadian mining industries have allowed me to develop my technical and professional abilities through both formal training, and practical on-the-job learning in field and mine-site environments, and in research laboratories. I have completed a mining industry-sponsored PhD in the UK in the development and assessment of an innovative microwave comminution technology for reducing energy consumption and improving the efficiency of mineral processing operations. I am focused on advancing my career in the global mining and mineral processing industry in the field of applied mineralogy, and the development, advancement and promotion of new technologies and innovations.
